Training camp -- DBs
This is where the most positions battles will take place during training camp, and throughout the season.
Incoming freshmen Aaron Hester, Rahim Moore and Anthony Dye each could break into the starting lineup (although it is doubtful all three will) as the returning players are pushed. Dye and Moore are scheduled to begin camp as safeties, but could also quickly move to cornerback
The only given is Alterraun Verner will be one of the starting cornerbacks. Fifth-year senior Michael Norris begins camp as the other starter at cornerback, but he will need a strong training camp to hold off Hester. Courtney Viney could also factor into the situation, but he begins on the periphery.
Aaron Ware begins camps as the starting free safety, but will get competition from one o the freshmen.
With starting strong safety Bret Lockett suspended for the first game because of a violation of the team's academic rules, Glenn Love is penciled in as the starter. However, if he does not perform well, or if injuries crop up (he was injured several times in the last year), either Dye or Moore could move into a more prominent role.
